Bottled at PBF. near black, minimal head. Citric licorice aroma. Sweetish with full body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Some grapefruit and tobacco, but most flavours seem contained behind plastic. Big and bold. Dull.

65 cl bottle @ PBF VIII
Aroma is somewhat sweet with hay, cocoa, some soy sauce and licorice. Flavour has soy sauce, salty licorice and hints of coffee. Also some hay. Odd, but there’s a certain English feeling here.

Bottle at Max Burger, Springfield, 18/05/13. Pitch black with a thin tan head that clears to a film. Nose is dark fruits, burnt toffee, liqourice, touch plasticy, mineral notes. Taste comprises dark fruit, pepper, molasses, dark malts, light dark chocolate tones, sugars, booze. Full bodied with fine carbonation, warming alcohol in a boozey finish. Ok impy stout but a way from being top draw, the alchocol is a little too evident and could have been better integrated.

12 oz bottle. Hampton Falls Village Market. 2012 vintage.The nose is very chocolaty with some alcohol, light hops, and a touch of espresso beans. Flavor is sweet bakers chocolate, caramel and candi sugar, a touch of smoke and a real nice roasted malt backbone. The ABV is only slightly noticeable. Mildly creamy texture. This brew is worth the price of a four pack. The other three bottles are getting more age on them. Even at this point it’s a nice drink.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Black with a brown head. Aroma of dark chocolate and some roastiness, kinda liqueur-like. Sweet flavor with chocolate, light roastiness and a drier finish with bitter and acidic notes. Medium to full-bodied. A nice Imperial Stout.
